This invention relates to a device for carrying stamps. V c

One object of the invention is to provide 6 being attached to the end of a pencil, lip

stick, or the like. i A furtherobject of the invention is to provide a stamp carrying magazine in which the stamps are carried on a spindle rotatably 10 inopnted 'within a casing having a slot through which the stamps may be withdrawn. Another object of the invention is to provide a stamp carrying magazine which has few separate parts and which can easily be put together. In accordance with my invention the device comprises a casing With-a slot therein and a spindle rotatably mounted in'said casing to which spindle is attached a strip of waxed cloth or paper, or other suitable material. This strip is of the width of a stamp and is cut at its outer end to form a narrow lead" strip. To this strip is attached a device which is adapted to flip out of the cylinder when it reaches the slot. The spindle may be made in the form of a spool, both ends of said spool being of substantially the internaldiameter of the casing. The spindle may also be made so that one end of it is. adapted to fit into a hole in a bearing plate in the casing. The en-' 1 tire device may be detachably or permanently fitted onto the end of a pencil, lip stick or the like, or can be used alone. An eraser may also be attached a to the outer end of the spindle. i I shall now describe my invention in detail, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the cylinder with the spindle attached. I Y

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 shows the stamp carrying strip with the lead strip formed at the end of it, andthe device adapted to flip out of the slot attached 7 to said strip.

'The end of-the-cylindergi's provided with a 'slit 5 sOGthat the-cylinder can be removably f'andtightly fastened -to-a pencil or the like.

In the middle of this plate is a H00 7 hole, the internal diameter of which is substantially the same as thatoif the bar 6. The end 11 of the bar 6 is of slightly larger diameter than that of the rest of the bar and is I provided With a small slit 25 so that it may be compressed as it is forced through the hole in the plate. 12.; Once the end of the spindle is V 5 a o forced through the hole it will feniain fixed if; '1'
